In the dream i was stuck in heavy traffic on both sides and there was a brown olds mobile who was not moving. The brown olds mobile thought i was tailgating. I was not tailgating but I could see in my rear view mirror we were going to get hit by a 18 wheeler and multiple cars behind us. I ended up facetiming my ex and i was really scared. He answered and i was frantically telling him im going to hit if i get out of the car there is no where foe me to escape. And while on the call I was hit and air bags deployed. I heard my ex say I have to get to her. A tear rolled down in my eye in the physical.
Dreams about being stuck in traffic often symbolize feelings of frustration or being trapped in a situation in your waking life. The heavy traffic on both sides could represent obstacles, delays, or a feeling of being overwhelmed. The brown Oldsmobile that perceives you as tailgating might suggest that there are misunderstandings or conflicts in your life where you feel unjustly accused or pressured by others.
The impending collision with the 18-wheeler can signify a fear of something catastrophic happening in your life. This could reflect anxiety about a particular situation feeling out of control. The urgency you feel in the dream, highlighted by your frantic call to your ex, emphasizes a desire for support or reassurance during stressful times.
Your ex's response—expressing a need to reach you—might symbolize unresolved feelings or a longing for connection from your past. The tear that rolled down your cheek in the physical world could represent a release of emotions that you're currently experiencing. It suggests that your subconscious is processing feelings of vulnerability and fear.
Overall, this dream reflects deep-seated anxieties and emotional baggage related to feeling trapped, misunderstood, or overwhelmed. It may be a call to reassess your current circumstances and seek support, whether that’s from people in your life or through self-reflection and understanding.
